[Koglist] REMINDER: ELTE Cognitive Seminar - Andrea Halpern - May 23 Monday 14:00 - IZU 101

by Zsuzsanna Nemecz

Dear all, just a reminder of Andrea Halpern's talk tomorrow (Monday, May 23). The talk will take place in-person at the Izabella Street building of ELTE. Please register by sending an email to nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu if you would like to attend. *Time and date:* 14:00 (CET), Monday, 23. 05. 2022 *Location: *Room 101, Izabella utca 46., 1064 Budapest *Speaker:* Andrea Halpern (Bucknell University) *Title:* Memory for Music: For Better or Worse *Abstract:* Memory for some aspects of music is surprisingly good...and in other ways it is surprisingly bad! In this talk I will review a wide variety of older and newer research projects that contrast the difficulties with encoding new music into memory (even for musicians), contrasting with situations in which some aspects of already-learned music are very well preserved, even over long time periods or neural challenges. I will offer some ideas about how these two situations might also have some elements in common but also reasons for why they differ, and how examining memory for music can illuminate general principles of memory. If you have questions about the event, please contact us via email (nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu or reka.schvajda(a)ppk.elte.hu). We look forward to seeing you there, Zsuzsanna Nemecz Réka Schvajda organizers ELTE Department of Cognitive Psychology

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder CDC Seminar: Melissa Kibbe (Boston University), 4pm on Wednesday May 11

by Barbu Revencu

A reminder of the talk tomorrow. Time: 4pm (to 5:30pm) Budapest/Vienna time Date: Wednesday, May 11, 2022 Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 942 7892 8352<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94278928352?pwd=ckljaElMYnJtYW41b25sVGZNU09kQT09>, pw: xfhq44 Chair: Gergo Speaker: Melissa Kibbe<https://www.bu.edu/cdl/developing-minds-lab/> (Boston University)<https://www.emilyliquin.com> Title: Computations underlying "arithmetic" over non-symbolic representations of quantity Abstract: Infants and young children can solve "arithmetic-like problems" using non-symbolic representations of quantity (e.g. solving "one object" + "one object"), and these early non-symbolic abilities are thought to support the acquisition of formal mathematics in school. How do untutored children perform non-symbolic "arithmetic-like" computations? Formal symbolic arithmetic is defined by function rules that specify how operators operate over inputs to produce outputs, and these function rules allow for the principled combination and manipulation of numerals. In this talk, I will present recent research from my lab that suggests that human's early, non-symbolic "arithmetic" abilities are much more computationally limited. Our results provide new insights into the computations underlying early numeracy abilities, and suggest computational limitations on early non-symbolic numerical competencies that could limit their effectiveness as scaffolding for the acquisition of formal arithmetic knowledge. ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu

[Koglist] TOMORROW: Nora S. Newcombe - 10 May Tuesday 4pm - ELTE Cognitive Seminar

by Zsuzsanna Nemecz

As a reminder, the following talk by Nora S. Newcombe (Temple University) will take place tomorrow at 4pm, organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series. *Time and date:* 16:00 (CET), Tuesday, 10. 05. 2022 *Speaker:* Nora S. Newcombe (Temple University) *Title:* Charting Our Way in Space and Time *Abstract:* Episodic memory and navigation are two adaptive functions that share some neural substrates and that develop in humans from fragile beginnings in the first two years to mature competencies (with individual differences) by early adolescence. But how are they related, both in development and maturity? In this talk, I will discuss the two developmental trajectories, and some possible answers to that question. *Zoom link:* https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/97494506030?pwd=N1RkbXVYYS8vN2N5VmZ0YjVFMmVRZ… <https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/99679798942?pwd=eDMvWDF1Y0tkSW5zemVMZ2plRzRrU…> *Meeting ID:* 974 9450 6030 *Passcode:* 337102 If you have questions about the event, please contact us via email (nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu or reka.schvajda(a)ppk.elte.hu).

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder CDC Seminar: Emily Liquin (NYU), 4pm on Wednesday May 4

by Barbu Revencu

A reminder of the talk tomorrow. Time: 4pm (to 5:30pm) Budapest/Vienna time Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2022 Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 942 7892 8352<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94278928352?pwd=ckljaElMYnJtYW41b25sVGZNU09kQT09>, pw: xfhq44 Chair: Bálint Varga Speaker: Emily Liquin<https://www.emilyliquin.com> (New York University)<https://www.emilyliquin.com> Title: How curiosity guides us towards good explanations Abstract: Curiosity motivates exploration and is beneficial for learning, but curiosity is not always experienced when facing the unknown. Why do humans experience curiosity in some circumstances but not others? And how does this change across development? In this talk, I will present my recent work investigating whether explanation-seeking curiosity — curiosity about a "why" or "how" question — is selective in a way that is tuned to the epistemic aims of explanation. If curiosity is selective in this way, we would expect learners to be most curious when they are most likely to learn useful and generalizable explanations. Our results show that curiosity motivates explanation search selectively towards explanations that a learner believes hold promise for learning. However, in ongoing work, we find that the triggers of curiosity change between childhood and adulthood. Broadly, this research sheds light on how human learners across the lifespan decide when to seek information and what questions to ask. ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu
